I do not believe any Corvette was ever painted "Hugger Orange" by name. I believe that is a Camaro color name.

Back in the "day" the names of the paint would change...even though the paint code was the same along with the paint formula.

I will have to check tomorrow in my old books and see. I honestly believe that I am correct....but I have been wrong before and had to "eat crow".

I just did a little looking on the internet and found out that as usual, DUB is right. In 1969 and '70 Hugger Orange was a Camaro color and the Corvette color was called Monaco Orange and Ontario Orange in 1970. The paint codes are the same
